The driver of a car that hit several small trees and ran down an embankment Thursday was listed in good condition Friday in a hospital.

Karen Lawson Garrett, 47, of Nascar Fan Alley, was a patient at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. A hospital spokeswoman said there was no record for her passenger, Thomas Garrett, 45, of the same address.

The accident occurred about 6 a.m. on N.C. Highway 150 North near Circle Drive. Karen Garrett was traveling north when her 2000 Nissan ran off the road to the right, struck multiple trees and collided with a rock-faced embankment, according to a Highway Patrol report. The car came to rest off the road.

Karen Garrett was pinned inside the vehicle, and her husband was entrapped, according to firefighters with the A-RC-H Fire Department. Both were extricated from the Nissan, which was totaled.

N.C. 150 was shut down for about an hour for troopers to investigate the wreck.
